Problem 3.1
Stability of a system was defined in the lecture and in section 2.2.5
of the text, and it was shown that for an LSI system a necessary and
sufficient condition for stability is that h(n) be absolutely
summable. Show that each of the unit sample responses listed below
corresponds to a stable system

Causality of a system was defined in the lecture and in section 1.3 of the text. In this problem we wish to show that for an LSI system a necessary and sufficient condition for causality is that the unit sample response be zero for n < 0. Show from the convolution sum that if h(n) = 0 for n < 0 then the system must be causal, i.e. that y(n 0 ) depends only on x(n) for n < n 0 where n 0 is arbitrary. This then shows that a sufficient condition for causality of an LSI system is that h(n) = 0,
n ,< 0.
(a)
Now, suppose that h(n) is not zero for n < 0. Argue that the system cannot be causal. This can be done simply by showing that there is at least one input for which the output "anticipates" the input (b) i.e. for which y(n 0 ) depends on values of x(n) for n > n 0 . This then establishes that a necessary condition for causality of an LSI
system is that h(n) = 0, n < 0.

Problem 3.6*
The Consider a discrete-time system with input x(n) and output y(n). system transformation y(n) = F [x(n)] is arbitrary and may be nonlinear and time-varying. The only known property of the system is that it is Suppose well defined, i.e. the output for any given input is unique. the output is measured (e.g. the maximum amplitude). be a function of w. frequencies. Show that P is periodic in
that the input x(n) is chosen as x(n) = ejon and some parameter P of P will in general Let us consider P for different excitation w and determine the period.
